PDFMaker can't produce pdf's in MS Office 2007 after upgrade to Acrobate Standard 8.1.7

I get an error message saying PDFMaker cannot locate the Adobe PDF Printer's printer driver. Please re-install Adobe Acrobat 8.0.
I can still print to the Acrobat printer using the print out menus in Office 2007, so there IS working printer drivers, but I don't know where to set Acrobat PDFMaker to find it.
Anyone?

This sounds like a known bug for a non English version of Office. See this post for more info.
There is a Microsoft Developer answering questions.
Other options:
1) Disable MERP
Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MERP2.0 -prefs > deactivate
2) Remove these duplicate fonts:
Library/Fonts/Microsoft
Andale Mono
Arial Black
Arial Narrow
Arial Rounded Bold
Bauhaus 93
Comic Sans MS
Georgia
Gill Sans Ultra Bold
Impact
Tahoma
Trebuchet MS
Run Font Book to make sure there are no more duplicates found. More info
Run Font Nuke to delete font caches.
3) Fix for Non-English version:
This example is for Polish version MS Word. Not sure what this will do for future upgrades.
1. Go to Aplication folder > Office > and find Word
2. Click right mouse button and select show package content
3. Go to Contents > Recources
4. Change name folder from pl.lproj to en.lproj
You can download the English version until a fix is offered. Installs 14.3.8,

I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite

I can't set up iCloud drive on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite - iPhone and iPad are updated but both say my iMac isn't (even though it is running Yosemite).
My iMac is OS X Yosemite 10.10 (14A389), memory is 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 and storage capacity is 273.64 free of 999.35 GB.
When i go to System Preferences and click on iCloud. The iCloud Drive section is greyed out and says setting up and a spinning pin wheel. It stays like this the whole time. I have tried restarting the computer. i amanita sure what else to do to make it work. Any suggestion would be great.

I found another way to correct this...
1) Select Message, then go to Preferences,
2) a window will appear with 3 options, General, Accounts, Audio Video, don't be surprised when you see a video of yourself, your camera just turned on.
3) Select Accounts (you may have several here)
4) Select the account that has "iMessage" under the account name. This may likely be your Apple ID ****@me.com
5) Look at what is checked under the "You can be reached for messages at:"
6) Select the one account (or more if you like) and deselect the others
7) Close the window and the problem goes away.
I'm not longer getting my sons iMessages.

Can you open any file, i.e. jpeg, etc.? Have you installed the Apple legacy Java: Java for OS X 2014-001? I'm guessing you have because you wouldn't be able to open PS at all without it. But have to ask.

Yes you can, however it is A LOT easier if you make a 10.6 TimeMachine (disconnect it) and/or (best) a 10.6 Carbon Copy Cloner bootable clone. (disconnect it too)
TimeMachine drives are not bootable, so you will require your 10.6 install disk (slow) to be perfectly functional to boot and perform the ENTIRE drive erasure required to restore the 10.6 TimeMachine copy (slow) to the internal drive.
With a 10.6 bootable clone on a external drive, it's hold the option key bootable, so your up in seconds on the 10.6 clone and can be erasing the entire internal drive while surfing the web.
Also if your 10.6 disk is not working, the clone is, so it's another bootable backup.
Most commonly used backup methods
The other more complicated method to restore 10.6 on a machine that was upgraded to 10.7 or 10.8 is to extract all one's files into a neutral state on a external storage drive. (not TiThen use the 10.6 disk to wipe everything and reinstall 10.6 fresh, then programs then files.
10.7 and 10.8 changes things in the User/Library, so you can't just restore from TimeMachine backwards.
Also newer versions of programs from Apple changes their support files, like iTunes Library and iPhoto Library, so it's a lot more work extracting your original mp3's and jpg's for reimportation into 10.6 versions of those programs.

I can't open pdf's from web sites since I upgraded adobe reader

Since I upgraded adobe, I haven't been able to open pdf's directly from websites--I just get a black screen (in Safari, or a white screen in Firefox). I can sometimes right click on the link and either download the pdf or save it as a document as a work-around to enable me to open it.

I have the same problem. Or similar. A few weeks ago, i installed Adobe reader (because i had a pdf attachment that was unreadable in Preview, so i wanted to try Adobe to see if that would work; it didn't work). Since then, i can't open PDF files on the web. I get a black screen or sometimes a white one. and i can sometimes open them indirectly, if there is the option on the link. I thought this problem started after i deleted Adobe however. I'm not sure because i wasn't expecting this problem and am not exactly sure the sequence of when things happened, but i wanted to delete Adobe reader because i had no use for it. Unfortunately, they didn't provide an uninstaller. I put the application in the trash and whatever else was in the folder, and emptied the trash, but got a lot of messages about various files not being able to be deleted because they were in use. I think it was since then that i can't open PDF files. Never had a problem before getting involved with Adobe Reader. Anyway, as far as your answer goes, i have already deleted as much of it as i can.
Any other suggestions? i downloaded the Adobe installer to reinstall it if that's what it takes. i need to be able to open PDF files.
Thanks

.PS file generating a blank PDF after upgrade from Acrobat Pro 7 to 9

Hi All,
I've searched for this in vain so I'm comming to you now in desperation. My boss has tasked me with tracking down this error and I have to be honest, I'm a little bit green with Acrobat Pro. So coming into the situation I know this. My department used to use a .ps file to build a publication into a PDF from other .ps files. We operate on a network share (the P: drive) on Windows XP SP3 machines with the latest updates.
In Acrobat Pro 7 we could double click the .ps file which executed the below code through Adobe Distiller and a finished PFD of the same file name would be output to the host directory. But now, after upgrading to Adobe Acrobat 9, this process only produces a PDF with all of the appropriate bookmarks and none of the content.
% PostScript program for distilling and combining multiple PostScript files.
% When embedding font subsets, it is highly recommended you use this technique
% to distill multiple PS files so only one font subset is used for each font.

An observation -
It looks like you are dealing with files that reflect someone's work with the pdfmark Reference (associated with Distiller).
As with Acrobat Security, JavaScript and the Acrobat SDK the 'how-to' from these all undergo changes with each new Acrobat release.
I suspect that the coding, while adequate for back when Acrobat 7 was new on the street, may have to be updated to comply with what the Distiller provided with Acrobat 9 supports.
Use the link for pdfmark Reference
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/wwdistiller.html
The Acrobat Developer Center ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat.html ) provides a hub to the myriad of "under-the-hood" aspects of Acrobat.
Be well...

Adobe Reader 9.x crashes when opening PDF's created using Office 2007

I work on the helpdesk side for a big corporation and many of our users are reporting that when they try to open a PDF, it locks up their Internet Explorer or Reader 9.x
We noticed that the problems were only caused by PDFs that were presentations created in PowerPoint, then saved as a PDF with the Office 2007 Save as PDF plugin. So what we did was engaged an engineer at Microsoft to look into the issue. They did a lot of troubleshooting and narrowed it down.
They think that if the presentation was created using PP 2003 then opened in PP 2007 then saved as a PDF then this causes AR 9.x to crash. So what they did was remove the slide number, and added a new slide number using PP 2007, save it as a PDF then it opens in AR 9.x
All other versions of AR can open the PDF under the same scenario.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks

It's almost identical to what you posted. I think the difference was that I was trying on a machine with complete install of Acrobat which has the font packs and hence there was no hang/crash. Your file doesn't hang on that machine either.
If you look at the fonts panel in your document: File>Properties>Fonts, you'll notice that it uses MS-PGothic font which is a Japanese fonts, and hence the Japanese font pack might fix this.
Also, since you mentioned ACE.dll, the other possibility might be that there are conflicting DLLs on the system, commonly referred to as DLL Hell. Another thing to try would be to search the system for ACE.dll and see which all software install it.

No PDF printer after upgrading to Acrobat X Professional

Hi, I recently upgraded from Acrobat 6 Pro to Acrobat X Pro (technically, an upgrade isn't possible but the Acrobat X Pro installer will uninstall Acrobat 6 and install Acrobat X). After performing the installation "successfully" I no longer have an Adobe PDF printer under printer and faxes. I'm running Windows XP SP3 (32-bit). If I uninstall X and reinstall 6 the printer comes back. But nothing I do can get the printer there under X. Am I missing something?

While editing is allowed its just meant to correct a misspelling here or there. Not whole sentences. Another thing that can affect light editing of PDF with Acrobat on OSX.6.7.
On some applications bad fonts (use FontBook) to verify your fonts. Open Fontbook without any applications on (such as acrobat, Reader, Ms Office). select all fonts. in click on box that shows fonts. Randomly select a font. The hold command key(⌘) press A, that selects all fonts. Look for and use Verify Fonts. Any fonts that can not be verified, or repaired with a Font reair Program should be removed.
also while all fonts are selected, look for an use reconcile Fonts. This looks for Duplicate fonts. In some cases the same application would use one version one time andanother another time thus causing spacing problems. click on each one found and see which is duplicated. Disable the oldest version.
do this with all duplicate fonts found.
If the above corrects the problem, locate disabled fonts, User >Library >Fonts disabled and Main Library Fonts disabled remove to desktop Make archives and place archives in safe place( in case you need to swap fonts).
Next if you have X.6.7 Install this Patch: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377. This corrects some font problems caused by the OSX.6.7 the update that affects Adobe Products, (such as Acrobat, Reader Indesign and others, As well as Microst Products for Mac)

I am not being able to attach a pdf file to my apple mail after upgrading to os X mountain lion

Hi, I was easily able to attach pdf files to my apple mail. infact I could just open a pdf file and then send it as attachment in the email earlier. but after downloading and upgrading to os X Mountain lion, I am neither being able to attach and send pdf files in my apple mail, nor can I send PDF file as an attachment.
Is there any issue with OS X Mountain Lion.

Unable to create pdf files after upgrade to acrobat dc, acrobat crashes

Since I just upgraded to Acrobat DC I am not able to create PDF files any more. Whatever program I tried, the PDF-printing process always crashes. Deinstallation and reinstallation does not help in any way. Even worse, there is no option to install any former version of Adobe Acrobat through the Creative Cloud App. Any office or CAD software from which I am trying to print also totally stucks from the PDF printing process. I am a freelancer and have some urgent deadlines tomorrow, so the last thing I need right now is trouble with my pdf-printer. Any help is highly appreciated. (Windows 7 Professional, HP ZBook 15 Mobile Workstation).

For those of you who are Creative Cloud members and are facing the same problem, this is the way to reinstall Acrobat XI Pro (you will not find this option within the Creative Cloud App):
1. Make sure you uninstalled Acrobat DC.
2. Log in with your account data on https://creative.adobe.com
3. Go to https://creative.adobe.com/de/products/acrobat
4. Choose Acrobat XI Pro from the dropdown menu and click the download button.
5. An event handler will ask you in a popup window if you want to open the link within the Adobe Creative Cloud App. Choose CreativeCloud(URIHandler) from the list and hit okay.
6. The Download will now apear in the Apps list of the Creative Cloud App and can be installed by hitting the Install button.
Took me some time to figure that out and I would prefer to use the latest Acrobat version. But as long as Acrobat DC causes my other applications to crash, Acrobat XI Pro will do the job.

Slow PDF printing after upgrading to Acrobat 6 - Help Needed

When I used Acrobat 5, my 95ppm printer printed pdf files at that speed (I generally throw several thousand page PDF docs at it at a time). Now since I upgraded to Acrobat 6, printing is MUCH slower. Nothing has changed other than the version of Acrobat. What is going on and is there anything I can do about this? Thanks in advance!

I'm just going to give this a little bump with a little more info.
It doesn't seem to matter if I set the printer up localy or over the network. I have tried several computers (WinXP and/or Win2003) and all with the same results. This is crazy if this is "just how it is". How is a printshop supposed to keep up when people are bringing in PDF docs made in Acrobat 9, but the newest version we can get to print in a timely manner is Acrobat 5. Its not that it takes a while to get up to full speed. We deal with huge PDFs and, with Acrobat 9, a print job can run for hours without speeding up at all.

IFilter 9 not searching OCR .PDFs post SP2 for Office 2007 Servers

Prior to the installation of Service Pack 2 for Office 2007 Servers, .PDF files that were scanned in and then ran against Optical Character Recognition software could be searched with the iFliter 9 for Windows MOSS, x64. Now, those specific files no longer are searchable however; files that were converted directly from another application, such as MS Word or Excel, that were converted directly into .PDF files work fine. Has anyone ever seen anything like this or can give me a direction to go to get this resolved? Adobe's support for this product is non-existant and I am sure Microsoft will not be a help since it is not their product.

See if this discussion helps:

PDF maker not working - Office 2007

I have acrobat standard 8.1 with office 2007. When I try to right click an office document and choose create PDF it crashes. I can perform this task with a notepad document, so it must be something to do with office. I have another PC same spec, same software and it is working ok.
I have tried a repair on both office and acrobat, and uninstalling and reinstalling the software. checking that the add in is enabled in office.....kinda stuck what to try next. The file print and choosing the pdf printer is working. Any ideas ?

All I can tell you with AA8 is that if it prints to the Adobe PDF printer, then there is an issue with the plug-in macro for PDF Maker. Through AA8, PDF Maker was simply a preprocessor for the Adobe PDF printer. All I can suggest is to go through and check the various settings in PDF Maker. You might log the settings you have and then turn basically everything off in PDF Maker to give as simple a process as possible and see if it works. If so, then add things one at a time. In fact, you might first try to turn off tags or check the option for a small file (you did not indicate file size). Tags and some of the other items bloat the PDF a fair amount and require a lot of space in the TEMP folder that may be too full (this folder is limited in size and is not an issue of the size of your harddrive).
